"...hardly see them for 380..." That's because hardly anybody loads .380.
"...needs a taper crimp..." Absolutely. Just like a .45 ACP. Aids feeding.
Throw the scoop away and use a scale. The scoops can varythe powder charge plus or minus a full grain. Mind you, the .380 doesn't use much powder. Max loads are under 5 grains.
